All language subtitles for DMS209

[NARRATOR] Previously
on Dark Matter.

[FIVE] Something really bad
happened to you there.

W-Why would you
ever wanna go back?

I may not have a choice.

I own a company called
Dwarf Star Technologies

which owns Rebecca, who
you know as Portia.

You know, she was created
right here in this facility.

[ROOK] Although Rebecca's
biological components

are superior, she must
be constantly monitored

and maintained by her nanites.

I was thinking...
it might be better

if we kept this between us.

It was one night,
and it was nice,

and I'm not saying it
won't happen again,

but I don't think either
of us should assume...

Of course not.

Listen, I enjoy your company.

And I enjoy yours.

Let's leave it at that.

I just wanted to make sure...

Can we stop talking about this?

Okay.

Wow, you two were really
going at it last night.

[NYX] Pardon? What?

I passed you sparring
in the training room

on the way back to my
quarters after dinner?

Yeah, we were, um,
training late.

[NYX] Yeah, bow staffs
and, um, swords.

You guys moved on
up to grappling?

Okay, um...

I'm done.

[beeping]

Two, where are you?

[sighs]

[knocking]

I need help.

How do you feel?

I'm fine.

[THE ANDROID] But... you're not.

[TWO] What're you talking about?

Your nanites, they're in a
critical stage of failure.

What does that mean?

[THE ANDROID] I'm sorry, Two.

You're dying.

[NYX] And so your nanites
are what gives you

your special abilities.

They also serve the basic
function of keeping me alive.

But now they're powering down.

Apparently it's been
happening for a while now.

A slow progression that
manifested no symptoms

until their decline reached
a critical threshold.

That's when I started
showing signs.

If they shut down
completely, one by one,

my organs will fail.

The simple fact is, my
body was not designed

to function without them.

Why hasn't the robot come
up with something, huh?

You need nanites;
She's got nanites.

It doesn't work like that.

We're talking about completely
different nanite designs.

Look, the solution to my
problem is not on this ship.

It's here.

Back when I had the neural
link, Five confronted me

in one of my memories.

I had just escaped from the
lab where I was constructed,

and we were in this alleyway.

This building was
in the background.

It's the corporate headquarters
for Dwarf Star Technologies.

If there's any hope for me,
that's where I'll find it.

So, that's where I'm going.

Hey, you're not going anywhere.

[SIX] You said it yourself.

You're weak, disoriented.

At best, you're a non-factor.

At worst, you jeopardize any
shot we have at fixing this.

You know, it's okay to let
others take care of you

once in a while.

Yeah, fine.

Fine...

We're going to Earth.

Raza, you seeing this?

Whoa.

That's a space elevator.

Where does it go?

According to the short
range scanners,

it leads to a small space station
in geosynchronous orbit.

All right, we're going
down for recon.

[FIVE] Copy that.

Well, once we're
parked, me and Nyx

will check the place out.

You stay back in the
Marauder with Four.

[TWO] You're not gonna learn
anything new, are you?

Are you suggesting I'm
wasting our time?

No.

I think in your mind,
you're putting it

to the best use possible,
all things considered.

You're trying to give me
hope, take my mind off

of what's going on
down on that planet.

That would be atypical
android behavior.

But it would be perfectly
normal behavior for a friend.

[TWO] I appreciate you,
everyone looking out for me.

But I can't just stand
by and do nothing.

Look, I know that my current
state makes me a liability,

but I'm wondering if there's
anything that you can do for me.

I wish I could, Two, but...

[TWO] I-I know you
can't solve this.

So all I'm asking for
is a temporary fix.

Something that'll let me
do more than just sit back

on this ship while the others
risk their lives for me.

I don't believe the others
have a problem with that.

[TWO] Maybe not, but
I sure as hell do.

I need options.

[SIX sighs]

A short while ago, he'd
have sooner killed you

than permitted you to
accompany us on a mission.

If you say so.

You didn't think it would
be that easy, did you?

Of course not.

A practical argument can be
made for keeping you on board.

Practical enough
to convince you?

I understand why you
did what you did.

[FOUR] Divided
loyalties, I empathize.

My home world is about to
lose an interplanetary war.

And defeat will cost it
for generations to come.

And all I can do is
watch it happen.

No, my place is with my people,
not sitting idle on a spaceship.

So you're actually
thinking of leaving.

There isn't a day that goes
by that I don't consider it.

Then what's stopping you?

[FOUR] A sense of duty,
loyalty to this crew.

So friendship.

And the fact that
without my memories,

I have nothing to offer Zairon.

[THREE] Hi.

We're in the lobby, testing.

[FIVE] Copy that.

[THREE] How's the view?

Eyes and ears.

You're on.

[NYX in British accent]
Good afternoon.

I'm here to see Mr. Rook.

ID?

No.

Sorry, you're not in the system.

Well, there must be a mistake.

Can you check again?

I'm telling you, your
name isn't here.

We're in.

[NYX in British accent] I'm not
leaving until I see Mr. Rook.

Fine.

You seeing this?

[FIVE] Yeah, retinal scans.

It's not gonna be an
easy smash and grab.

So how do we get
in from up here?

[THE ANDROID] It's not equipped
with docking capabilities

or anything else that
would allow for access.

It's highly secure.

There's no possible way
to enter the station

while in orbit.

Which means the only
way in is by way

of the space elevator.

And how do we get
on that elevator?

[FIVE] You catch a lift
with him, Eric Waver.

According to the
company database,

he's been with their R&D
division for over ten years.

Which means he was probably
there on the station

when I escaped.

Well, maybe we won't have
to access the space station

after all if he has the
answers we're looking for.

[THE ANDROID] In the event he
doesn't, I'm working on a way

to circumvent Dwarf Star's
retinal scan technology.

How you gonna manage that?

[THE ANDROID] By using
the infirmary's repair

and reconstructive
technology in conjunction

with some of the illegal
criminal devices

I've been cataloging
from the store room.

I need to see that list.

Five's got Waver's address.

We'll take the Marauder down.

You're in no condition
to come with us.

You agreed.

My situation has
changed temporarily.

The Android's figured
out a way to boost

the power to my nanites.

For the next 24 hours,
I'm at maximum charge.

I'm stronger than ever.

[FOUR] And what happens
after that 24 hours is up?

[THE ANDROID] Her nanites
will shut down completely.

Her death will be immediate.

Why would you do that?

Because I'm not going
to die a slow death.

If I'm going out, I'm
going out fighting.

[ERIC] Interests:
Cooking, dancing.

[beeping]

[ERIC] Can I help you?

Galactic Authority.

Lieutenant Kal Varrick.

I'd like to speak to Eric Waver.

Yeah, uh, that's me.

Uh, what is this about?

I'll need maybe 20
minutes of your time.

[ERIC] Can I at least know
why I'm being questioned?

Sir, we can talk here
or down at the station.

Your choice.

Okay, hang on.

Come on in.

Hey.

Whoa, wh-what's going on?

Wh-What do you guys want?

Rebecca.

You're a part of the team
that created me, weren't you?

Yes.

But you're not afraid.

Why not?

Because you spared me.

The night you escaped.

[ERIC] You were our first
successful prototype,

a bio-engineered human
capable of self-sustainment

and sentience.

[ERIC] You were subjected
to a battery of tests

designed to assess your limits.

Force your nanites to
respond and push past them.

You surpassed all expectations.

Unfortunately, that just
emboldened our research team

to push you further.

[ERIC] It wasn't easy to watch.

[ERIC] It was torture for you.

[ERIC] I was a junior member
of the research team,

tasked with the
most basic duties.

One of which, feeding you, had
an unintended consequence.

[ERIC] It allowed us to bond.

Which, in turn, resulted
in me being charged

with another duty...
Your education.

[ERIC] You learned.

You grew smarter.

And, unbeknownst to
us, more dangerous.

[ERIC] We never saw it coming.

[ERIC] When you broke free,
you were brutally efficient.

[ERIC] It was like you were
proving yourself to them

one last time, one final test.

[ERIC] You killed them all.

[ERIC] The research
team, uh, technicians,

security personnel,
everyone on that station,

except me.

It's true what Alex said
about your missing memories.

What else did Rook tell you?

[ERIC] That you had friends
now, dangerous associates,

and that you'd come back.

You know about your nanites.

That's why you're
here, isn't it?

It wasn't until several
months after your escape

that we discovered that
the first generation

nanorobotics were flawed.

They were bleeding an
almost infinitesimal

amount of energy over time.

And that's when we realized
that sooner or later,

they would all deteriorate
and shut down.

But you fixed the
issue, didn't you?

Yes.

Yes, we improved the internal
design and we perfected

a self-sufficiently
generated version.

Where is it?

It's in the research lab
up on the space station.

[TWO] Good.

You're gonna take me up
there, and we'll go get them.

No, uh, no.

Y-You'd be identified
before you got anywhere

near those elevators.

Then I'll go.

I can handle this one alone.

[TWO] No.

You'll go together.

Please.

Fine.

Okay...

[ERIC] Uh, you can't
get up there without

passing a retinal scan, and
you need identification.

[SIX] Yeah, we're gonna
need you to call

a couple of your coworkers,

catch them on the
way home from work.

M-My coworkers?

Ah... Uh, No.

I-I-I can't.

I won't.

You don't have a choice, buddy.

Hey.

Come on in.

Well, Fists of Curry was closed,

so we had to take out from House
of Frying Daggers instead.

Hope that's okay.

What the hell, Eric?
What is this?

He didn't have a choice.

Wait, you're...

Oh my god, you're Rebecca.

Please don't kill us.

[TWO] Sit down.

I'm not gonna kill you.

I just need your help.

We need your retinas.

Oh, god...

I should warn you that
rather than helping

to calm one's nerves,
coffee acts as a stimulant.

It's not coffee.

It's hot chocolate.

I picked it up on our
last station stopover.

Hot chocolate?

[FIVE] Mm-hmm.

Did you know that I
possess over 20 million

taste receptors?

Uh, do you want a sip?

Okay.

Interesting.

Six reports they've come in
contact with the lead scientist.

He remains confident in their
probability for success.

You're worried.

Of course I'm worried.

In the past, she's been
almost invincible.

I mean, I saw her come
back from the dead

that time she was blasted
out the airlock,

but that was because
of her nanites.

And now instead of saving
her, they're gonna kill her.

No, they won't.

She won't let that happen.

What makes Two special
isn't her nanites.

It's her strength of will, her
ability to face adversity

and never give up.

Thanks.

I feel a little better.

She'll be fine.

[TWO] Hold still.

[TWO] Okay, who's up?

How does this work exactly?

[TWO] According to The
Android, it scans a retina,

mapping out its unique pattern.

This template gets imprinted
onto an organic gel,

which gets injected
under your cornea.

Are you kidding me?

I know. That is so cool.

The compound
eventually breaks down

and is absorbed by your body.

All right.

Let's do it.

Don't blink.

That's amazing.

Can you not?

I'm sorry.

[GNN REPORTER] In what some are
referring to as a colossal blow,

forces from the Republic
of Pyr have retaken.

Enriss Sector,
scoring yet another

decisive military victory in
their war against Zairon.

Emperor Hiro Ishida described
the loss of the contested

region as a temporary setback,
but sources within the palace

reveal a royal court beset
by confusion and self-doubt.

The execution of two more
Generals followed news

of the defeat, bringing
to 12 the total number

of high-ranking officials who
have paid the ultimate price

for what Zairon's empress has
termed "a failure of spirit."

Just in case you were thinking
of tipping anyone off,

remember your friends are still
hanging out with Rebecca.

Hey.

Come on.

Hey.

Try it again.

Okay.

[sighs]

It's been a little fussy
since the upgrade.

Yeah.

Technology, huh?

[SIX] And how many
will she need?

A single injection will
deliver more than enough

second-generation
nanites to do the job.

They'll replicate,
they'll disperse

through her bloodstream
in seconds.

Just to be on the safe side...

Gentlemen, welcome to
Dwarf Star Technologies.

I've been expecting you.

If you're gonna lock us up,
I'm gonna need a pillow.

That can be arranged.

But first, I'm gonna need to
know where I can find her.

Who?

Where's Rebecca?

Oh. She's not with us.

Nope.

No, she's nowhere
near this place.

[ALEX] Hmm.

Is she feeling a little ill?

Yeah, her nanites are failing.

And this was only
a matter of time.

She is going to die a very
slow and very horrible death

without this.

Eric...

I am incredibly
disappointed in you.

You always had such an
unhealthy affection for her.

He had no choice.

We all have choices.

[SIX] In this case, it
was help us or die.

[ALEX] Is that true, Eric?

Were you in fear for your life?

Yes. I was afraid.

Sorry.

That's okay.

Hey, hey, hey.

There is no shame
in wanting to live.

[ALEX] It's all right.

Take him out?

[gunshot]

I probably should have
phrased that differently.

[SIX] You son of a bitch.

[ALEX] Even if he was an
unwilling participant,

what kind of example am I
setting for my other employees

if I let him just
walk out of here?

Loyalty is an extremely
important part of my business.

[THREE] Oh, I am really
gonna enjoy killing you.

Well, you know what?

I don't think I'm going
to give you that pillow.

[TWO] I should've gone.

No, facial recog would've
nabbed you in a second.

[COWORKER B] You're pretty
high priority around there.

They've been gone too long. We
should've heard back by now.

I'm gonna go back to the ship.

How much time does
she have left?

I dunno.

She said she had 24 hours,
but if we don't find a way

to fix this soon...

You, let's go.

They've been gone too long.

Something's happened to them.

Then let's go get them.

There's no way we're
getting anyone past

that security checkpoint.

If they've been caught, that
place is in full lockdown now.

[FOUR] So then we don't
take the elevator.

We find another way in.

There is no other way in.

Actually, there may be.

My earlier scans confirmed
no other access points.

However, this section was
a designed hangar area

subsequently sealed off upon
the station's completion.

It's large enough to
accommodate the Marauder.

How does that help us? We
don't have an entry point.

You don't need one.

We use the Blink Drive.

[THE ANDROID] I believe
I can adapt it

to the Marauder's engine.

We just... pop in.

I need you to tell me
where I can find Rebecca.

So that you can,
what, help her out?

Now, I can save her. But
I need you to let me.

With all due disrespect,

go to hell.

Hook him up.

In case I don't get
the chance to say it:

Thank you.

Android, we're ready.

See you soon.

What the hell?

It worked.

Raza, we're in.

[TWO] Three and Six are
somewhere on this station.

I need you to go find them.
I'll go after the nanites.

Do you know where
they're located?

I know what, I know
where, and I know how.

Eric's coworkers
were happy to help.

You okay?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Come on.

Hey. It's all right.

What'd they do to you?

Tried to convince me to talk.

I wasn't much in the mood.

[SIX chuckles]

All right, well, we've gotta
figure something out.

[THREE] Yeah.

Two's on the clock, and we're no
good to her just sitting here.

No, no.

[SIX] All right.

[ALEX] It's not there anymore.

[ALEX] You understand that I
can't give it to you, right?

You represent a professional
failure for me, Rebecca.

And if I just had
you running around,

it would make me
look really bad.

And I... I just
hate looking bad.

Where is it?

It doesn't matter.

Your time is up.

Personal shield, one
of many wonderful

technologies developed
by Dwarf Star's

research and development
department.

Like the damping field
I used to negate

your nanites the
last time we met.

And I could've used that again,

but I thought, "What
a great opportunity

to demonstrate my
new prototype?"

Would you like to
meet the new you?

[ALEX] Faster, stronger,

and possessed of an
advanced version of the

nanites teeming within you.

[ALEX] Oh, and best of all,
he is completely loyal.

[BOTH grunting]

[SIX groaning]

You coming?

[SIX] Let's go.

Come on.

[BOTH grunting]

[TWO groans]

[TWO yells]

[NYX grunting]

[FOUR] I'd like to see
his nanites repair that.

Hey, hey. Easy, easy.

I got you.

[SIX] The nanites?

He took them.

It's too late.

[NYX] No... [SIX] No.

Hey, hey!

Hey, no! Two. Two...

No, no, no, no...

[SIX] No...

[NYX] What're you looking for?

[THREE] What're you doing?

[SIX] Drawing blood.

[SIX] Finding the
quickest way to get this

into her bloodstream.

The prototypes already have the
second generation nanites.

According to Eric, we
just need a small sample

to start the process.

[gasps]

[SIX] Hey!

Hey, hey...

Welcome back.

[FIVE] So you're gonna be okay?

We are gonna be fine.

The new nanites have replicated
and integrated fully

throughout your system.

And the old ones?

They're inert and in
a state of decay.

You're going to be fine, Two.

I'm relieved.

Hey.

How you feeling?

A lot better thanks to you and
everyone else on this ship.

[SIX] Well, like Five
says, we're family.

We take care of
each other, right?

Right.

Right...

[SIX] Hey, listen, I need
to talk to you about Three.

What about him?

He's... not himself.

[SIX] Hey.

What're you doing down here?

Let's get him to the infirmary.

[THREE] What the
hell's going on here?

You tell us.

What did Rook do to you?

I dunno what you're
talking about.

What did he tell you?

He's betrayed us once.

He can't be trusted.

He's not the one
I'm worried about.

[THE ANDROID] Strange.

Although he's awake,
his neural activity

is consistent with REM sleep.

Something happened to
you in Rook's lab.

I'm not letting you out
until I find out what.

[screeching]

Drop the shield!

And you have no idea
what's wrong with him?

[TWO] No, but the
answers have to be

back on that space station.

I've had The Android set a course.
We're going back.

Until then, I'm not
taking any chances.

He's staying in this stasis pod
until we can figure it out.

[SIX] What the hell?

He should be unconscious.

Despite what it
looks like, he is.

[screeching]

[TWO] Help me move this
into the corridor.

Let's go.

I've completed my override
of the outer airlock door.

Good.

Four, Six, you're with me.

Everyone else, go
behind the bulkhead.

Whatever's inside of
him's trying to escape.

When I open the pod, you
guys drag him clear.

Understood? [SIX] Yeah.

[TWO] Three, two...

[TWO] Go!

[screeching]

Space it!

Okay.

What the hell was on our ship?

You look... okay.

Yeah.

So does that mean
you're gonna be fine?

[TWO] Yes.

Great.

We did it.

Wait...

What the hell am
I doing in here?

What do you remember?

Um...

I remember going to
the space station.

I remember Rook, that
bastard, killing Eric.

I remember being
taken to the lab,

being strapped down, and then...

nothin'.

His brain activity is normal.

What?

[THE ANDROID] It appears he's
back to his old self again.

"Old self"?

What happened to me?

I don't know, but I'll tell you

what I do know,
later, over drinks.

As uncharacteristic
as this sounds,

screw the drinks;
I wanna know now.

Trust me, you're gonna
want that drink.

Trust you, seriously?

If it wasn't for him,

you would... [THREE]
Oh, come on.

Did he save my life again?

It's just getting
kinda old, isn't it?

For you and me both.

This experience has
reminded me of my own

energy requirements.

If anyone needs me, I'll be
on my charging platform.

Good night.

I think he's just doing
it on purpose now.

Hey.

What's going on in
that mind of yours?

Rook.

[THREE] Oh, we'll
get him next time.

It's not revenge I want.

It's answers.

What the hell was going
on on that space station?

[birds chirping]
